I'm just going to get after it- Car/LA-Them Panthers just love the NFC West-after all, it's the only reason they have two wins. PFF's second-highest graded player is dt Aaron Donald. Number one is (let's all spit on the ground at once-1, 2, 3 *pfttt!*) is Brady-the bastard. The Rams Donald

I guess at some point of any major league schedule the creators must get some middling games out of the way before the rush to the finish, huh? That's the feel I'm getting from some of these tilts here. But for the teams involved there's a ton of difference between

Man, it's already Week 9? Where did the time go? [looks at several empty bottles of scotch on the mantle] Oh, right. TO THE GAME! Atl/TB-The Bucs D was on the field for a leg muscle-sapping 94 plays last week against a high-powered Raiders team-now they get the Falcons and their

I'm not the biggest fan of this evening but I recognize that it does have its merits. Folks love to get jazzed up for this and there are little if any consequences down the road unless you end up punching a cop. (If at all possible, please don't punch a

Here we are, finally. [Barry Manilow's "Looks Like We Made It" plays softly in the background] Phi/Dal-I hate both these teams but I like this game. The "Over-Achieving Rook QB's" story line is on the money and damn relevant-at the very least for the NFC East and its near future. I

Two games? The stupid NFL lucks out sked-wise because they both should be interestifying. Still, two games? TO THE TWO GAMES! SD/Den-Despite fantastic play from qb Rivers the Chargers look like the children's book, "The Little Engine That Couldn't Quite Get Up The Hill Even Though He Received Lots Of Encouragement

KC/Ind-The last time these folks met (January 2014) KC was up 28 points before qb Luck was channelled by the memory of Frank Reich (history!) and pulled out a ridiculous 45-44 playoff victory. KC needs this one to keep pace with Oakland and Denver. Indy could lose this one and

Apparently we have Napoleon to thank for the image above. Nice going, guy that wasn't really that short for his time. Dog's breakfast, English breakfast-whatever.

There's a chill in the air. Can you feel it? The hobos huddled close by the open fire sure can. There's talk that it's about time to head to the west coast. That means another three weeks of evading them darn switch yard bosses and the dogs that leave deep

I don't think that anything can top the magnificence of the Giants/Rams tilt but the league insists otherwise. And I once trusted the NFL implicitly just like I trusted my mother when she told me as an 8 year old that my dad was the scum of the earth. Irony

N.O./KC-The Saints O is a thing to behold-they churn out an average of 413 yards per game despite the fact their running game is near non-existent. "Don't talk about the D. Don't talk about the D"-Saints fans. Let's talk about the D. "GODDAMN IT!"-Saints fans. It's a piece of crap
